Pros & Cons
Pros
Leecraft pm-1-zero is the best zero clearance insert i have ever used. It does a great job of eliminating splintering when working with fine plywood. Allows ripping very narrow pieces safely.
Cons
I didn't want to mess with them. Waste of time/money. For what it's intended for, poor.
Highlights
Quality
Overall im very pleased with the insert and would recommend it to anyone
Buy this one you will be pleased with the smooth top surface and the fit accomplished with the adjustment screws
Quality material that is flat unlike the cheap ones i got at woodworking shows that are warped and twisted
I am kicking myself for putting up with the oem insert for years
Packaging/appearance
It makes a horrendous racket when you cut the kerf
Easy to install level and cut in the kerf
Competitiveness
Fit my powermatic 66 table saw with very little adjustment
This one fit my powermatic 66 table saw perfectly
Needed this for a zero clearance insert so i could put in a riving knife
Weird color but perfect fit in a 1989 powermatic 66

Sure you can go to the trouble of making your own inserts but they wont be deadflat phenolic and they take time to get the curves just right
